2020 US General Election Thread IV: The Battle Begins

[Northern Davincia]

Vietnam was a just war, much like Korea, it was just executed badly.

"Just a war" yeah ight. Lemme know when terrorists cause more destruction

Lemme know when this happens because of random wingnuts and not a government: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-23427726

My Lai was certainly one of the most terrible acts committed in the war, yet South Vietnam had every right to exist freely from communist rule.

[Telconi]

I guess we're at an impasse then, I suppose we'll just continue hating one another forever.

I don't hate you. I never said that I did. I don't hate anyone on NSG really. I dissagree, yes. But hate? No.

(X)

[Telconi]

So did I.

This is rather entertaining though

I love how we went from government reform to whatever this is about

We're still talking about government reform.

Meanwhile, the Georgia Senate Special Election is being comlicated on the Republican side as Doug Collins is expected to announce he's standing against Loeffler in the Primary: https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-doug-collins-expected-run-004204104.html

I dont see how its relevant.

I find it truly astonishing your that not only do you want only who those who with you to vote but also elected officials you disagree with elected freely and fairly imprisoned or blackmailed and also want violence against areas who vote differently. You do realize blackmail and vandalism are crimes correct?

your not better because you stand on legality as a form to perform tyranny, sorry, not buying it.

And Trump will likely endorse him and Republican primary voters will vote for him since Kemp had the audacity to defy him.

I don't want violence against people who vote differently. I want them to stop advocating for mistreatment of me and my family. They're people, they have the capacity to make decisions, they can very well go to a poll and vote for someone less evil than Gavin fucking Newsom.

You sound displeased by this.

Yeah everyone on the coast is plotting against you. For the zillionth time he was elected in a free and fair election and got the most votes. Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?

Washington is voting for Governor this year. Incumbent Jay Inslee will likely get a third term due to ranking up large margins in the Puget Sound region. Are the people of that region evil because they voted different from a rural community on the border with Idaho?

Doing whatever the leader says and believing everything they say is the textbook definition of a cult.

You do realize that election outcomes hurt the people that lose? It doesn't matter if the election was free and fair, because the 49% will get hurt by the 51% if the majority wills it.

You do the exact same thing.

And your alternative is what? You cannot please 100 percent of the people. Someone will always disagree hence why no referendum or contested election ever gets 100 percent of the vote.

So, I see there was another poll released in NH today. The breakdown:

Sanders 29%
Biden 22%
Warren 16%
Buttigieg 10%
Klobuchar 5%

No one else got above 5%. This confirms other trends we have seen: Sanders continues to lead although the rest behind him seems to be up in the air. For Biden, he has maintained somewhere around 14-17% so this is a poll he's doing better in. Same for Warren, who has seen her support range from 10-13%. Buttigieg on the other hand, sees a big drop from his 15-18% range. Needless to say, Sanders is likely to win there. The question, can he win in Iowa, and bigly too? Because if so, his chances of winning go up.

Who said anything about a plot? I understand he was elected, It isn't difficult for me to grasp seeing as I've grasped it continuously over the preceding decades since I was taught basic civics in school.

I don't know Inslee's beliefs.

Yes, you've said that before.

And Democrats will blow a winnable election

If you understand this why do you therefore call for elected officials imprisonment and violence against those who disagree?

Put an end to FPTP so that minorities have greater say in decisions. It is inevitable that some will be unhappy, but that is no excuse to retain a system where half the population is at odds with the other half for supremacy. Democracy should not be a zero-sum game.

Hate is never the answer

It leads to the dark side.

because individuals like yourself will surley attempt to get anyone standing in the way of tyrannical authority be imprisoned.

But as we know now you can easily turn back to good as long as you fall in love with a plucky scavenger
